Kaukauna Times - By Lyle Hansen
March 4, 1910
A recent picture in the Kaukauna Times shows an
artist concept of what a city will look like in fifty years 1960. Automobile and
aero planes could be seen everywhere.
Hollandtown can soon boast of having a full
brass band, ten players have already signed. As soon as their instruments
arrive, they will begin to take instructions and will practice every week in one
of the local halls.
The Green Bay interurban line was out of
commission all day Saturday and Friday night from 7:15 that evening until 8:15
Saturday evening. Ice formed a heavy coating on the rails the whole length of
the track, besides in places there were big snow drifts which in most instances
had to be shoveled away, as the ice and snow together formed a barrier the snowplow
could not conquer. A big crew of men with shovels and picks worked like Trojans
all day and about four pm they had reached the city limits after digging and
picking all the way from Green Bay. It took them until nearly eight pm to reach
the Kaukauna depot.

The American Society of Equity held a large and
enthusiastic meeting at Evergreen Hall, Beaulieu Hall, yesterday afternoon and
unanimously decided the question of building an elevator in this city. Delegations were present from Darboy, Freedom,
Little Chute, Dundas and Holland locals. It was decided to build a $10,000
elevator and warehouse, and work on the same will commence just as soon as
weather will permit.
Going to Work in 2110 - Mr. Edison declares
the ordinary laborer will live as well as a wealthy man can today. This will be
done by solving two great problems, the elimination of friction and saving
fuel. He deprecates the value of monorail, condemns chemical foods, suggest improvements
in aeroplanes and bitterly assails the use of whisky.
Not in many years have the roads been in such a
fearful condition as they are at the present time. Some of the mail carriers go
as far as they cab by horse, then walk the rest than run the risk of injury to
the animal. Some roads have snow more than five feet deep.
The basketball team, Mulford’s Hustlers of
Kaukauna, defeated the Bushey’s Regulars of Appleton by a score of 45 to 16.
This year’s team lineup is Miller, right forward; Hays left forward; Regenfuss,
center; Haas, right guard; and Nagan, left guard.

The Kaukauna Lumber and Manufacturing Company
finished Monday rebuilding their dry kiln to increase its capacity by a system
of greater radiation. It will take only three days now to dry lumber from the
pile. The radiation of the plant is now three times as large as formerly. They
have engaged the services of several first-class wood finishers such as cabinet
makers, sash and door men will arrive this week.
The snow has gone and it’s time to clean up the
backyard and alleys. Residents were asked to gather up all in a pile ready for
the garbage wagons. If not ready when the city wagons come through, they would
have to hire a team at their own expense. According to the Board of Health.

People have much concern over the increase of
automobiles on the roads. Many say that the noisy things never replace the
horse while others feel that in the future more autos will be on the road and
it is just a matter of time before they replace the horse and buggy.
